Wuxia: Become the 100-Victory Sword King at the Beginning

Chapter 52 52. Helpless Breakup
However, Shi Feiyang could only accompany Liu Guihua back to her residence to rest.

The dim candlelight flickered, casting mottled shadows in the room.

The two lay side by side, but like strangers who had never met each other before, there seemed to be an insurmountable barrier between them.

Liu Guihua was in deep torment. She stared at the bed curtains above her head, tears almost welling up in her eyes.

In the past, she married Shi Feiyang with great joy, and looked forward to spending the rest of her life with him.

However, to this day, Liu Guihua feels that she has been completely ignored by Shi Feiyang.

Her fingers involuntarily clutched the corner of the quilt, and the grievance and unwillingness in her heart surged like a tide.

Shi Feiyang, too, felt the pain. He stared at the ceiling, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts. He knew his treatment of Liu Guihua was unfair, but his physical discomfort and inner conflict made it difficult for him to provide her with the care she deserved. His brow furrowed, his lips trembling slightly, but he was speechless.

Gong Simeng was curled up in a corner of the room at this moment, and the moonlight gently caressed her body through the window lattice, as if covered with a layer of frost.

She had never expected that Liu Guihua and Shi Feiyang had already gotten married.

She originally thought that if she gave up everything and went to Shi Feiyang, she would be able to obtain his protection.

However, the cruelty of reality was beyond her imagination. Not only did she lose her past, but even her last support was gone.

Tears slid down quietly, and the collar of his clothes was soaked with tears.

Her shoulders trembled slightly and she hugged herself tightly with her hands, as if this could resist the coldness in her heart.

All the dreams and hopes of the past vanished in an instant.

Gong Simeng couldn't understand why fate played such a trick on her, why she gave everything but got such an ending.

She recalled the past with Shi Feiyang, those times that once warmed her heart, but now they pierced her heart like a sharp knife. She knew she could not go back to the past, that she could no longer have that pure love. However, she found it difficult to accept this reality, to accept her loneliness and helplessness, and to accept that the love in her heart had been ruthlessly trampled upon.

Lin Wanqing sat alone in the room, the dim candlelight casting a hazy shadow on her face.

Shi Feiyang's painful face appeared in front of her eyes, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions. She knew that Shi Feiyang was thinking about Gong Simeng, not her.

However, what could she do? She could only endure the pain silently.

Outside the window, the moonlight fell like water in the quiet courtyard, as if it was also humming for her sorrow.

As the night deepened, Changsheng Castle was still shrouded in silence.

The occasional sound of the wind seems to be telling an unknown story.

However, on such a night, a man and three women each endured their own pain.

Shi Feiyang lay quietly on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

His thoughts drifted to Gong Simeng, Lin Wanqing, and his own future. Facing all this, he felt lost and could only silently endure his inner struggle. Outside the window, the leaves rustled in the wind, as if accompanying his sorrow.

The moonlight filtered through the window lattice, casting patches of light on his face, revealing a hint of melancholy.

Shi Feiyang tried to close his eyes and put the troubles in his heart behind him, but those fragments about love, career and dreams came like a tide, making him unable to calm down.

The lights in Changsheng Castle gradually dimmed. Shi Feiyang put on his clothes, walked out of the room, entered the courtyard, and wandered alone.

Moonlight streamed down his body, lengthening his lonely shadow. Although Gong Simeng had been rescued, the threat from the Divine Water Palace loomed large. He needed to devise a strategy quickly to ensure the safety of everyone in Changsheng Fort.

Lin Wanqing approached lightly and asked in a low voice, "Master Shi, what should we do next?"

Shi Feiyang pondered for a moment, then replied with a determined look, "We must strengthen our vigilance and guard against another attack from the Divine Water Palace. At the same time, I must quickly identify the Divine Water Palace's weaknesses and destroy them in one fell swoop."

Lin Wanqing nodded in support. She knew that Shi Feiyang's decisions were always decisive and wise, and she was willing to support him with all her strength. As long as Shi Feiyang was there, the future of Changsheng Castle would be safe, and they would face any challenge together.

As the night deepened, there was silence in Changsheng Castle.

Lin Wanqing said softly, "Chief, go to bed early." After that, she left quietly.

How could Shi Feiyang dare to go back to his room and sleep? He felt that he had failed to give Liu Guihua happiness and would rather be alone.

So Shi Feiyang leaned against a big tree and closed his eyes to rest.

Soon, Liu Guihua walked out of the room and persuaded Shi Feiyang to go back to his room to rest.

Shi Feiyang had no choice but to return to his room with Liu Guihua. However, Shi Feiyang still could not develop any interest in Liu Guihua, which resulted in Liu Guihua staying alone in her empty room for a month.

It wasn't that Shi Feiyang was indifferent to beautiful women, but for some reason, facing Liu Guihua's various advances, Shi Feiyang remained completely unresponsive, like an ice sculpture. Liu Guihua, a newlywed woman, felt helpless and desolate, and she misunderstood many things, believing that Shi Feiyang's neglect of her was due to Gong Simeng.

In fact, Shi Feiyang also has his own unspeakable secrets in his heart.

The feelings he had for Gong Simeng were actually the care and love between friends, not love between a man and a woman.

However, in Liu Guihua's eyes, this pure friendship became evidence of betrayal.

Shi Feiyang had no intention of making excuses, knowing full well that explanations would sometimes only make the situation more complicated.

Women often cannot keep their secrets, so Liu Guihua went to Xiao Lingling to complain and told her that Shi Feiyang was not a man.

Xiao Lingling couldn't say anything about this, so she could only say, "Sister, if you and Chief Shi can't get along, then break up. Chief Shi is very handsome and has great martial arts skills, but if he can't make you happy, then you should leave him. It's very painful for a woman to be a widow for a long time. Also, go find Lin Wanqing, who is proficient in medicine, to see if she can cure Chief Shi's illness."

So, Liu Guihua found Lin Wanqing, plucked up the courage, and told her the cause of Shi Feiyang's illness.

Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

After a while, Lin Wanqing went to find Shi Feiyang.

At this time, Shi Feiyang was sitting alone in the room, thinking carefully about how to deal with the Shenshui Palace.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

He looked up and saw Lin Wanqing hurried in, her face showing anxiety. She approached Shi Feiyang and took his pulse, finding that his whole body was cold and very cold. She prescribed a good prescription and ordered Liu Guihua to go and get it.

However, Shi Feiyang had been taking the medicine for more than half a month, but his condition had not improved. He felt that he had lost his masculine strength.

When Gong Simeng learned about this, she was ecstatic.

For a young girl who has just begun to fall in love with her, it doesn't matter whether Shi Feiyang has lost his male function. The most important thing is Liu Guihua's disappointment in Shi Feiyang. As long as Liu Guihua leaves Shi Feiyang for this reason, Gong Simeng will cling to Shi Feiyang at all costs.

Soon, Liu Guihua's mental state completely collapsed. He could not accept spending the rest of his life with a man who had lost his masculinity.

After careful consideration, she decided to leave a farewell letter and quietly left the house.

When Lin Wanqing learned that the person she loved had become like this, she felt extreme pain and despair, and her heart was filled with endless sadness.

After learning that his sister had run away from home and her whereabouts were unknown, Liu Dayou angrily accused Shi Feiyang, believing that he had not only misled the students but also ruined his own life. He even thought that Shi Feiyang should commit suicide to thank the world.

After angrily scolding Shi Feiyang, he left angrily to look for his sister's whereabouts.

Shi Feiyang stared at Wu Zhong and Xiao Lingling through tearful eyes, his tone revealing deep sadness and despair. He asked, "Why are you still lingering here? I'm no longer the person I once was. What's the point of you two staying by my side? Don't you think it's shameful to follow someone who has lost his masculinity?"

Wu Zhong shook his head firmly, his eyes revealing genuine affection for Shi Feiyang. He said, "Master, my husband and I followed you not because of your status or physical condition. We respect your character, your courage, and your determination. How could we abandon you when you need support most?"

At this moment, Gong Simeng's cheeks flushed slightly as she ran over to Shi Feiyang eagerly to report, "Brother Shi, I've finally found a way to break the poison in your body. That's to seize the antidote from the Divine Water Palace—the Qiankun Holy Water. However, I must remind you that the Kunqian Holy Water is actually a poison and contains bone-dissolving water. The Qiankun Holy Water, on the other hand, is an antidote that can dispel all poisons. It incorporates the Shaolin Temple's treasured Dahuan Dan and Shaohuan Dan, the Wudang Sect's Huanhun Dan, the Kunlun Sect's Juhun Dan, the Western Region's Huxin Dan, and the Emei Sect's Huihun Dan."

At this moment, Liu Guihua has left Shi Feiyang, and only Gong Simeng and Lin Wanqing are left by Shi Feiyang's side.

After observing for a long time, Gong Simeng clearly realized that Shi Feiyang's courtesy towards Lin Wanqing was not based on love, but pure friendship. This made her believe that the time had come for her to spend her life with Shi Feiyang.

Therefore, she must cure Shi Feiyang's illness and lay the foundation for her own happiness and joy in the future.

Gong Simeng's eyes gleamed with determination. She clenched her fists and continued, "Brother Shi, please rest assured. For your health and our shared future, I will do my utmost to seize the Holy Water. However, the Divine Water Palace is extremely well-guarded, and infiltrating is no easy task."

Her eyes were full of concern and love for Shi Feiyang. As long as she could save Shi Feiyang, she would do it at any cost.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong was overjoyed and couldn't help but slap his thigh. He excitedly said, "Excellent! Chief, your predicament is over. Let's go to the Divine Water Palace. Even if it means sacrificing our own lives, we will retrieve the Holy Water for you."

Xiao Lingling also echoed confidently, "Master, Miss Gong knows the path to the Holy Water Palace like the back of her hand. We will definitely be able to successfully infiltrate. With your martial arts skills and my husband's iron palm, we will definitely obtain the Holy Water of Heaven and Earth."

Lin Wanqing held Shi Feiyang's hand in front of everyone, checked his pulse, and announced ecstatically, "Chief Shi's internal energy has increased dozens of times in the past few months. This is truly a cause for great joy. Let's go to Shenshui Palace together and destroy this notorious bandit den in the martial arts world."

Shi Feiyang's thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind, as did the image of Liu Tingting, the fairy-like face, and the unforgettable figure of the Sunflower Saint. He worried that once he entered the Divine Water Palace, he would find it difficult to let go of these feelings.

Therefore, Shi Feiyang shook his head unexpectedly and said, "That's not necessary! I don't need to resort to any shady means. Please rest assured, I will recover naturally. I have also recently gained insight into the true nature of my so-called relatives and friends. Please rest assured, I will soon marry and have children. Now, please rest first. I need to practice a new magical skill to expel the toxins in my body."

After hearing this, everyone stared at Shi Feiyang in astonishment, seemingly unable to react for a moment. The moonlight in the courtyard was still as bright as water, casting a shadow on everyone, reflecting their different expressions and bearing witness to the love, hate, and vengeance in this turbulent world.
